Fellow Patriot:
The past year has been an eventful one, but it is only the
prelude to events to come. We are at the turning point in a
historic course, and must make a choice. We call upon you to join
with us and assemble on April 19 as a militia. Not just a rally
of enthusiasts or protesters, or of some select group of leaders,
but of such of the Militia as we can get to come, conscious of
ourselves being the Militia, and met with the purpose to fulfill
the intent of the Framers of the Constitution that the Militia
should be kept organized and trained.
Let us pause for a moment to consider the significance of
that. Local militias meet now, in private places, away from
public attention. We will be meeting in the heart of a major
metropolitan area, in full view of the world. We don't have to do
anything. Merely meeting as the Militia, peacefully and openly,
will send a message:
The American Revolution began with an attempt by the
government to disarm the people. It could happen again.
During the past year we have explored the available bulwarks
against tyranny. Some have bemoaned how the people, seduced by
promises of security, seem unwilling to elect officials who will
enforce the Constitution as it was intended to be enforced by its
Framers. We have worked to elect better candidates. But now we
find that even if they voted otherwise, the election is likely to
be rigged to elect candidates chosen not by the people but by an
oligarchy of powerful interests. We have vested hope in juries to
refuse to render verdicts that enforce unconstitutional or
misapplied laws, but have seen how juries can be controlled to
suit the purposes of those in power. We look around us to try to
find institutions we can trust, but everywhere we turn, we find
that those institutions are controlled by people in key positions
that are accountable not to the people or to their shareholders
or to the law, but to a chain of command that leads to persons
unknown.
All of our constitutional rights are threatened by a
relentless subversion of that rule of law without which there can
be no security, no justice, and finally, no peace. But in special
peril the very week we propose to celebrate Militia Day is our
right to keep and bear arms and our right to assemble peacefully
as a Militia. Bills before Congress are scheduled then for a vote
that would finally confront thousands, perhaps millions, of
American citizens with being made outlaws by the stroke of a pen,
confronted with the decision to either surrender our arms or
resist against overwhelming force.
On April 19 of last year, more than 80 persons died in the
kind of confrontation that may be faced by hundreds of thousands
of patriot groups, mostly single families. Standing alone, with
no one to come to their aid, to avenge them, or even in many
cases to bear witness to their fate, they stand little chance.
Unless the Militia organizes. That is what the Powers That
Be fear most. It's not crime, or public health. It's all about
power. As long as we have the possibility of uniting and
resisting them, they remain threatened, and they foresee events
that will reveal them and shake the foundations of public order
on which their control depends. They are preparing for those
events, and so must we.
It is time for the Militia to awaken. To organize. To train.
And in so doing, to make it unnecessary to have a confrontation.
By our numbers and our discipline, by our invulnerability to
control by any key people among us, and by the sympathy we will
gain from people throughout the fabric of government, the
military, law enforcement, and the media, we will position
ourselves for a stalemate on the field of force. They will know
that we cannot be divided or attacked a few at a time, and that
in a general confrontation they could not prevail.
By thus establishing a balance of power, we win. For their
power depends on growth. When they cannot gather more power to
themselves, their power will falter and break up into factions
that will no longer be able to act in concert against the people.
Therefore, it is important that every one of you attend.
This letter is being sent to more than 500 persons. If each of
you can bring 5 others, we can get the attention of the world. If
you love your country and its Constitution, it is time for you to
act.
We propose to you an oath or affirmation:
"I swear/affirm that I will preserve, protect, and defend the
Earth, the Nation and its Constitution, the State and its
Constitution, and the Community, against all enemies, foreign or
domestic; and that I will make an independent determination of
the constitutionality and applicability of all laws and official
acts with which I may become involved, without being unduly
influenced by any official or superior, and that I will obey or
assist in the enforcement of those which are constitutional and
applicable, and resist those that are not, regardless of personal
consequences."
By dawn's early light have patriots ever met to defend their
liberties. Now is the time. Do not fail, or in times to come you
will regret that you were not there, when history was made.
